Meconium
The thick green-to-black mucilaginous material found in the intestines of a full-term fetus. It consists of secretions of the INTESTINAL GLANDS; BILE PIGMENTS; FATTY ACIDS; AMNIOTIC FLUID; and intrauterine debris. It constitutes the first stools passed by a newborn.
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
A condition caused by inhalation of MECONIUM into the LUNG of FETUS or NEWBORN, usually due to vigorous respiratory movements during difficult PARTURITION or respiratory system abnormalities. Meconium aspirate may block small airways leading to difficulties in PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE and ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA.
Infant, Newborn
An infant during the first month after birth.
Ileus
A condition caused by the lack of intestinal PERISTALSIS or INTESTINAL MOTILITY without any mechanical obstruction. This interference of the flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS often leads to INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. Ileus may be classified into postoperative, inflammatory, metabolic, neurogenic, and drug-induced.
Intestinal Obstruction
Any impairment, arrest, or reversal of the normal flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS toward the ANAL CANAL.
Amniotic Fluid
A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
Ileal Diseases
Pathological development in the ILEUM including the ILEOCECAL VALVE.
Maternal-Fetal Exchange
Exchange of substances between the maternal blood and the fetal blood at the PLACENTA via PLACENTAL CIRCULATION. The placental barrier excludes microbial or viral transmission.
Fetal Distress
A nonreassuring fetal status (NRFS) indicating that the FETUS is compromised (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1988). It can be identified by sub-optimal values in FETAL HEART RATE; oxygenation of FETAL BLOOD; and other parameters.
Pregnancy
The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.
Substance Abuse Detection
Detection of drugs that have been abused, overused, or misused, including legal and illegal drugs. Urine screening is the usual method of detection.
Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique
An immunoenzyme test for the presence of drugs and other substances in urine and blood. The test uses enzyme linked antibodies that react only with the particular drug for which the sample is being tested.

Prenatal diagnosis of a lean umbilical cord: a simple marker for the fetus at risk of being small for gestational age at birth. (1/243)

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the prenatal diagnosis of a 'lean' umbilical cord in otherwise normal fetuses identifies fetuses at risk of being small for gestational age (SGA) at birth and of having distress in labor. The umbilical cord was defined as lean when its cross-sectional area on ultrasound examination was below the 10th centile for gestational age. METHOD: Pregnant women undergoing routine sonographic examination were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were gestational age greater than 20 weeks, intact membranes, and singleton gestation. The sonographic cross-sectional area of the umbilical cord was measured in a plane adjacent to the insertion into the fetal abdomen. Umbilical artery Doppler waveforms were recorded during fetal apnea and fetal anthropometric parameters were measured. RESULTS: During the study period, 860 patients met the inclusion criteria, of whom 3.6% delivered a SGA infant. The proportion of SGA infants was higher among fetuses who had a lean umbilical cord on ultrasound examination than among those with a normal umbilical cord (11.5% vs. 2.6%, p < 0.05). Fetuses with a lean cord had a risk 4.4-fold higher of being SGA at birth than those with a normal umbilical cord. After 25 weeks of gestation, this risk was 12.4 times higher when the umbilical cord was lean than when it was of normal size. The proportion of fetuses with meconium-stained amniotic fluid at delivery was higher among fetuses with a lean cord than among those with a normal umbilical cord (14.6% vs. 3.1%, p < 0.001). The proportion of infants who had a 5-min Apgar score < 7 was higher among those who had a lean cord than among those with normal umbilical cord (5.2% vs. 1.3%, p < 0.05). Considering only patients admitted in labor with intact membranes and who delivered an appropriate-for-gestational-age infant, the proportion of fetuses who had oligohydramnios at the time of delivery was higher among those who had a lean cord than among those with a normal umbilical cord (17.6% versus 1.3%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: We conclude that fetuses with a lean umbilical cord have an increased risk of being small for gestational age at birth and of having signs of distress at the time of delivery.  (+info)

Prophylactic cefazolin in amnioinfusions administered for meconium-stained amniotic fluid. (2/243)

OBJECTIVE: To determine if amnioinfusion with an antibiotic solution decreased the rate of clinical chorioamnionitis and puerperal endometritis in patients with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. METHODS: Patients in labor at 36 weeks of gestation or greater with singleton pregnancies and meconium-stained amniotic fluid were randomized to receive either cefazolin, 1 g/1,000 mL, of normal saline (n = 90) or normal saline (n = 93) amnioinfusion. Rates of clinically diagnosed chorioamnionitis and endometritis and of suspected and culture-proven neonatal infection were determined. RESULTS: Between the study and control groups, the incidences of clinical chorioamnionitis (7.8% vs. 8.6%), endometritis (2.4% vs. 3.5%), aggregate intrauterine infection (10.0% vs. 11.8%), suspected neonatal infection (17.8% vs. 21.5%), and proven neonatal infection (0.0% vs. 2.2%) were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic use of cefazolin in amnioinfusions did not significantly reduce rates of maternal or neonatal infection in patients with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.  (+info)

Bile acid patterns in meconium are influenced by cholestasis of pregnancy and not altered by ursodeoxycholic acid treatment. (3/243)

BACKGROUND: Data on meconium bile acid composition in newborn babies of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) are relatively scant, and changes that occur on ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) administration have not been evaluated. AIMS: To investigate bile acid profiles in meconium of neonates from untreated and UDCA treated patients with ICP. Maternal serum bile acid composition was also analysed both at diagnosis and delivery to determine whether this influences the concentration and proportion of bile acids in the meconium. PATIENTS/METHODS: The population included eight healthy pregnant women and 16 patients with ICP, nine of which received UDCA (12.5-15.0 mg/kg body weight/day) for 15+/-4 days until parturition. Bile acids were assessed in the meconium by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and in maternal serum by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: Total bile acid and cholic acid concentrations in the meconium were increased (p<0.01) in newborns from patients with ICP (13.5 (5.1) and 8.4 (4.1) micromol/g respectively; mean (SEM)) as compared with controls (2.0 (0.5) and 0.8 (0.3) micromol/g respectively), reflecting the total bile acid and cholic acid levels in the maternal serum (r = 0.85 and r = 0.84, p<0.01). After UDCA administration, total bile acid concentrations decreased in the mother ( approximately 3-fold, p<0. 05) but not in the meconium. UDCA concentration in the meconium showed only a 2-fold increase after treatment, despite the much greater increase in the maternal serum (p<0.01). Lithocholic acid concentration in the meconium was not increased by UDCA treatment. CONCLUSIONS: UDCA administration does not influence the concentration and proportion of bile acids in the meconium, which in turn are altered by ICP. Moreover, this beneficial treatment for the mother does not increase meconium levels of potentially toxic metabolites of UDCA such as lithocholic acid.  (+info)

Immunoassay and GC-MS procedures for the analysis of drugs of abuse in meconium. (4/243)

The analysis of meconium specimens for metabolites of substances of abuse is a relatively accurate method for the detection of fetal exposure to drugs. Most of the methods reported in the literature before the early 1990s relied on radioimmunoassays. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate methods for meconium sample preparation for the screening and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmation of meconium extracts for cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine. EMIT and TDx immunoassays were evaluated as screening methods. The sample preparation method developed for screening included extraction and purification prior to analysis. Cutoff levels were administratively set at 20 ng/g for 11-nor-delta9-THC-9-COOH (THCCOOH) and phencyclidine and at 200 ng/g for benzoylecgonine, morphine, and amphetamines, although lower levels could be detected in meconium using the EMIT-ETS system. Ninety-five meconium specimens were subjected to the screening procedure with GC-MS confirmation of presumptive positives. In addition, 30 (40 for cocaine) meconium specimens were subjected to GC-MS analysis for all analytes regardless of the screening results to determine the false-negative rate, if any, of the immunoassay. Although there were no false negatives detected, the GC-MS confirmation rate for the immunoassay-positive specimens was generally low, ranging from 0% for amphetamines to 75% for opiates. The lowest rate of confirmed positives was found with the cannabinoids, suggesting that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) metabolites other than free 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta9-THC may be major contributors to the immunoassay response in meconium.  (+info)

Identification and analysis of the major metabolites of cocaine in meconium. (5/243)

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method was used for the simultaneous analysis of cocaine and its metabolites (norcocaine, benzoylecgonine, norbenzoylecgonine, ecgonine methylester, cocaethylene, and the o-, m, and p-hydroxy derivatives of cocaine and benzoylecgonine) in meconium specimens collected from newborns prenatally exposed to the drug in an effort to determine which of these metabolites are more relevant in the confirmation of immunoassay-positive specimens. Significant metabolites included benzoylecgonine and its m- and p-hydroxy derivatives. Reanalysis of immunoassay-positive meconium specimens that previously failed to confirm by GC-MS for benzoylecgonine revealed that the GC-MS confirmation rate could be substantially enhanced by inclusion of m- and p-hydroxybenzoylecgonine in the analysis along with benzoylecgonine. Several specimens were found to be positive for hydroxylated derivative(s) in the absence of benzoylecgonine itself.  (+info)

Level of in utero cocaine exposure and neonatal ultrasound findings. (6/243)

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether there is an association between the level of in utero cocaine exposure and findings on neonatal cranial ultrasound, controlling for potentially confounding variables. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective longitudinal study, three cocaine exposure groups were defined by maternal report and infant meconium assay: unexposed, heavier cocaine exposure (>75th percentile self-reported days of use or of meconium benzoylecogonine concentration) or lighter cocaine exposure (all others). Neonatal ultrasounds from 241 well, term infants were read by a single radiologist who was masked to the exposure group. RESULTS: Infants with lighter cocaine exposure did not differ from the unexposed infants on any ultrasound findings. After controlling for infant gender, gestational age, and birth weight z scores and for maternal parity, blood pressure in labor, ethnicity, and use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana during pregnancy, the more heavily cocaine-exposed infants were more likely than the unexposed infants to show subependymal hemorrhage in the caudothalamic groove (covariate adjusted odds ratio: 3.88; 95% confidence interval: 1.45, 10.35). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to demonstrate that ultrasound findings suggestive of vascular injury to the neonatal central nervous system are related to the level of prenatal cocaine exposure. Inconsistency in previous research in identifying an association between prenatal cocaine exposure and neonatal cranial ultrasound findings may reflect failure to consider dose effects.  (+info)

Failure to pass meconium: diagnosing neonatal intestinal obstruction. (7/243)

Timely passage of the first stool is a hallmark of the well-being of the newborn infant. Failure of a full-term newborn to pass meconium in the first 24 hours may signal intestinal obstruction. Lower intestinal obstruction may be associated with disorders such as Hirschsprung's disease, anorectal malformations, meconium plug syndrome, small left colon syndrome, hypoganglionosis, neuronal intestinal dysplasia and megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Radiologic studies are usually required to make the diagnosis. In addition, specific tests such as pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, anorectal manometry and rectal biopsy are helpful in the evaluation of newborns with failure to pass meconium.  (+info)

m-hydroxy benzoylecgonine recovery in fetal guinea pigs. (8/243)

Recently, meta-hydroxybenzoylecgonine (m-OH BE) was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy during quantitative analysis for cocaine. Identification of m-OH BE in addition to the routinely identified benzoylecgonine by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy confirmatory assays may increase detection of cocaine-exposed infants and decrease false negative results. However, it is not known whether m-OH BE is derived directly from benzoylecgonine or from hydroxylated cocaine, or whether this metabolite is produced in the fetus or transferred across the placenta from the maternal circulation. We quantitated the recovery of cocaine, benzoylecgonine, and m-OH BE from amniotic fluid, fetal meconium, fetal intestine, and maternal urine for up to 4 days after single dose administration of either cocaine or benzoylecgonine to pregnant time-bred guinea pigs. m-OH BE was recovered from meconium after maternal injections of cocaine and benzoylecgonine. There was no significant detection of m-OH BE from amniotic fluid or intestine and minimal recovery from maternal urine after either cocaine or benzoylecgonine administration. Detection of m-OH BE in meconium increased the identification of in utero exposed guinea pigs, and the greatest yield of m-OH BE from meconium occurred later than that observed for cocaine or benzoylecgonine.  (+info)

A Rare Case of Meconium Periorchitis Diagnosed in UteroA Rare Case of Meconium Periorchitis Diagnosed in Utero
Meconium periorchitis is a rare disorder caused by fetal meconium peritonitis, with subsequent passage of meconium into the scrotum via a patent processus vaginalis. To date, clinical significance of meconium periorchitis for the prenatal diagnosis of meconium peritonitis and prediction for postnatal surgery remains to be determined. We present a clinical course of a fetus presenting with meconium periorchitis induced by meconium peritonitis. At 28 weeks’ gestation, fetal ultrasonography indicated fetal ascites associated with bilateral hydrocele and peritesticular calcification without other signs of meconium peritonitis. The pregnancy was uneventful until delivery and the infant was delivered at 37 weeks’ gestation. No abdominal distension was observed at birth, and radiography did not reveal any abdominal calcification except for scrotal calcification. Abdominal distension was observed 3 days after birth and laparotomy was performed. The diagnosis of meconium peritonitis was confirmed

LC-MS analysis of benzodiazepines in meconiumLC-MS analysis of benzodiazepines in meconium
Abstract A novel method for the quantitation of 10 commonly prescribed benzodiazepines and/or their metabolites in meconium was developed using enzymatic hydrolysis, Dispersive Pipette XTRaction (DPX) + SALLE, and LC-MS/MS analysis.. DPX + SALLE combines Dispersive Pipette XTRaction and SALLE (Salting-out Assisted Liquid-Liquid Extraction) for a novel cleanup mechanism. XTR Tips contain Weak Anion Exchange (WAX) for cleanup and salt (S) necessary for SALLE. This methodology can remove matrix interferences in less than one minute. The method was evaluated for linearity, precision, extraction efficiency, and limits of detection and quantitation. To test the validity of our method, a blind study was done with a collaborative laboratory including 35 meconium patient samples tested for ten benzodiazepines and/or metabolites.. Introduction. Monitoring benzodiazepines in meconium is important for identifying potential health risks and treatment options for newborns. Meconium analysis is complex as a ...

Placental apoptosis in pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage | AVESİSPlacental apoptosis in pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage | AVESİS
In this study we investigated the presence of placental apoptosis in pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage. Placental tissue samples at term were obtained from 15 normal and 15 pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling method was applied to confirm apoptosis in all placental samples. The mean apoptotic ratio was significantly higher in placentas of pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage when compared with normal ones (0.37 = 0.06% and 0.29 +/- 0.07%, respectively; p < 0.01). The mean apoptotic ratios in trophoblastic and stromal cells were significantly higher in placentas of pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage than normal placentas (0.47 +/- 0.10% and 0.36 +/- 0.11% [p < 0.05] and 0.29 +/- 0.07% and 0.22 +/- 0.07% [p < 0.05], respectively). Increased placental apoptosis in pregnancies with intrauterine meconium passage could be a causative factor in the pathophysiology of ...

Results: Thirty-four cases of fetal ultrasound findings suggestive of meconium peritonitis were diagnosed at our center. These were pooled with cases from 14 other studies yielding a total of 244 cases. Postnatal abdominal surgery was required in two thirds (66.5%). The strongest predictor of neonatal surgery was meconium pseudocyst (OR [95% CI] 6.75 [2.53-18.01]; p = 0.000), followed by bowel dilation (OR [95% CI] 4.17 [1.93-9.05]; p = 0.000) and ascites (OR [95% CI] 2.57 [1.07-5.24)]; p = 0.03). The most common cause of intestinal perforation and meconium peritonitis, found in 52.2% of the cases, was small bowel atresia. Cystic fibrosis was diagnosed in 9.8% of the cases. Short term neonatal outcomes were favorable, with a post-operative mortality rate of 8.1% and 100% survival in neonates not requiring surgery ...

Review. Gastrointestinal Surgery in Neonates: Practice, Facts, and TrendsReview. Gastrointestinal Surgery in Neonates: Practice, Facts, and Trends
The author presents an overview of the current trends in acute neonatal gastrointestinal surgery. Necrotizing enterocolitis and focal intestinal perforation are disorders of different etiology, appearance, and prognosis. In neonates with focal perforation, a good prognosis can be expected. Primary anastomosis is a valid option for primary surgery. Meconium ileus is based on obstruction of the terminal ileum. Medical treatment is the primary therapeutic option, although surgery may be required. In contrast, meconium plug syndrome is based on stool plugging in the left colon, and surgery is not appropriate. Hirschsprungs disease is confirmed on the basis of representative biopsy of the rectum just above the dentate line. There is a trend toward a single-step pull-through operation without protective stoma. Open hernia repair in small neonates can be performed via a mini-incision and without opening the external inguinal ring. Laparoscopic hernia repair has some advantages, especially in girls. In infants

What is Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid - Is it Normal? - My Babys Heartbeat BearWhat is Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid - Is it Normal? - My Babys Heartbeat Bear
From the peer-reviewed AIMS Journal : Suctioning of the healthy babys airways at birth is no longer recommended; this is advised only if the baby has thick or tenacious meconium present in the mouth and/or nose. For home birth the midwife carries equipment for the rare occasion when the baby needs resuscitation. Leaving the umbilical cord intact until it has ceased pulsating will help the baby gradually adapt to extrauterine life and ensure it has optimum blood volume for full lung expansion. The baby should be kept warm by close skin-to-skin contact with the mother; early nuzzling and suckling will help the baby absorb any mucus and liquid left in its lungs. NICE guidelines advise that where there has been significant meconium staining, the baby should be closely observed at one and two hours of age and then two-hourly until 12 hours of age. Following a home birth the midwife will normally stay for at least the first two hours or until she is satisfied that all is well with mother and baby. ...

Times without lopinavir or tenofovir before delivery correlated with decreasing concentrations of tenofovir and lamivudine in meconium significantly. Concentrations considerably correlated with raising gestational age group among newborns with constant 2nd and 3rd trimester publicity. Zidovudine provided during L&D or for neonatal prophylaxis was discovered in 95.1% and 94.6% of meconium examples respectively. Conclusions Adjustments in ARV remedies during pregnancy provided a distinctive possibility to investigate ARV recognition in meconium. ARVs in meconium mainly reveal 3rd trimester ARV exposures although 6 of 107 2nd trimester just exposures were discovered. Zidovudine administration during L&D was discovered in meconium indicating potential urine contaminants or ...

Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the risk of infection to a mother and neonate, but antibiotic-mediated maternal and neonatal microbiota dysbiosis increases other health risks to newborn infants. We studied the impact of perinatal antibiotic prophylaxis on the microbiota in mothers and newborns with full-term or preterm delivery. Ninety-eight pregnant women and their neonates were divided into the following four groups: full term without antibiotic exposure (FT), full term with antibiotic exposure (FTA), preterm without antibiotic exposure (PT), and preterm with antibiotic exposure (PTA). Bacterial composition was analyzed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene from maternal vaginal swabs (V) and neonatal meconium (F). The results showed that in maternal vaginal and neonatal meconium microbiota, FT and PT groups had a higher load of Lactobacillus spp. than did the FTA and PTA groups. In addition, whether in the mother or newborn, the dissimilarity in microbiota between FT and PT was the ...

Background: Meconium pneumonitis occurs due to local lung injury and inflammation in newborns with meconium aspiration.The activation of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) plays a critical role in lung injury. Angiotensin converting enzyme- 2 (ACE 2) functions as a negative regulator of the angiotensin system. ACE-2 converts pro-apoptotic Angiotensin II to anti-apoptotic Angiotensin 1-7. Our previous study has shown that meconium causes degradation of lung protective ACE-2 by proteolytic enzymes present in meconium. However, the specific proteases in meconium that degrade ACE-2 have not yet been identified. Chymostatin is a strong inhibitor of many proteases, specifically chymotrypsin-like serine proteinase and chymase. It also inhibits lysosomal cysteine proteinases such as cathepsins A,B,C,H and L. Leupeptin is a reversible competitive inhibitor for serine and thiol proteases such as plasmin, trypsin, papain, cathepsin B,H, L whereas Pefobloc (AEBSF-aminoethylbenzenesulfonyl fluoride ...

Thirty-years of screening for cystic fibrosis in East Anglia | Archives of Disease in ChildhoodThirty-years of screening for cystic fibrosis in East Anglia | Archives of Disease in Childhood
Results During a 30 year period 582 966 babies have been screened by IRT-IRT and 147 764 by IRT-DNA-IRT (total 730730), resulting in 296 screen positive cases of CF and 29 false negatives (including 10 false negatives with meconium ileus). Ten missed CF cases were pancreatic insufficient, however all were diagnosed before their first birthday, suggesting that a false negative result did not forestall appropriate clinical investigation. The IRT-DNA-IRT protocol had a much improved positive predictive value (PPV) of 85.9% compared to 67.3% for IRT-IRT, excluding CF babies with meconium ileus. The PPVs increased to 82.2% and 98.2% respectively if only well, term babies were considered. The main factor to account for this improvement in PPV has probably been the incorporation of DNA analysis in the second tier testing.. ...

Cystic Fibrosis
The diagnosis of CF is being made earlier and earlier, usually in infancy. However, about 15% of those with CF are diagnosed later in life (even adulthood). Symptoms involve the lungs and digestive organs and vary in severity.. A few kids with CF begin having symptoms at birth. Some are born with a condition called meconium ileus. Although all newborns have meconium - the thick, dark, putty-like substance that usually passes from the rectum in the first few days of life - in CF, the meconium can be too thick and sticky to pass and can completely block the intestines.. More commonly, though, babies born with CF dont gain weight as expected. They fail to thrive in spite of a normal diet and a good appetite. Mucus blocks the passageways of the pancreas and prevents pancreatic digestive juices from entering the intestines. Without these digestive juices, the intestines cant absorb fats and proteins completely, so nutrients pass out of the body unused rather than helping the body grow. Poor fat ...

NICE guidelines state: Continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) should be advised for women with significant meconium-stained liquor, which is defined as either dark green or black amniotic fluid that is thick or tenacious, or any meconium-stained amniotic fluid containing lumps of meconium.9 NICE guidelines also recommend that EFM be accompanied by fetal blood sampling; therefore if thick meconium is found in early labour at home, the midwifes advice would be to transfer to an obstetric unit. In the case of light staining, the NICE guidelines state that continuous EFM should be considered, depending on a risk assessment which should include as a minimum the stage of labour, volume of liquor, parity, the FHR and, where applicable, transfer pathway. The NICE guidelines, therefore, advocate a holistic assessment where there is light MSAF. For example, the babys heart rate can be monitored using a Pinards stethoscope or a sonicaid, thus enabling the woman to remain mobile, which is ...

Role of prophylactic antibiotics in neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF)-a randomized controlled trial....
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of administering prophylactic antibiotics on the development of neonatal sepsis in term neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Two hundred and fifty eligible neonates were randomized to study group (Antibiotic group-receiving first-line antibiotics for 3 days) and control group (No Antibiotic group). Both groups were evaluated clinically and by laboratory parameters (sepsis screen and blood cultures) for development of sepsis. All neonates were monitored for respiratory, neurological, and other systemic complications and received supportive treatment according to standard management protocol of the unit. One hundred and twenty one neonates were randomized to Antibiotic group and 129 to No Antibiotic group. The overall incidence of suspect sepsis was 9.6 % in the study population with no significant difference between No Antibiotic and Antibiotic groups (10.8 vs. 8.2 %, p = 0.48, odds ratio (OR) 0.74, 95 % ...

Recently, a study found elevated FAEE concentrations in the hair of a newborn whose mother was alcoholic, as well as in the mothers hair (Klein et al. 2002). Although preliminary, this finding indicates that both maternal and neonatal hair may be a useful matrix for examining FAEE concentrations. The correlation between FAEEs in meconium and prenatal alcohol use is not perfect (Bearer et al. 2003; Chan et al. 2003). There probably are several reasons for this: (1) FAEEs may accumulate unevenly in meconium over time, so that samples do not appear to reflect reported drinking; (2) genetically determined variations in alcohol metabolism may influence the synthesis of FAEEs; and (3) illness or the use of some medications and food additives may affect FAEE concentrations. In order to set appropriate cutoff concentrations of FAEEs for analyses, a better understanding of these issues is needed.. Proteomics. A number of proteins are known to be affected, either directly or indirectly, by alcohol. The ...

After 20 weeks, hes measured from head to toe.)Hes swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. Hes also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion.

This is an important report, said Laposata. The measurements of the FAEEs are exceedingly well done. However, the test is only able to identify about one quarter of the mothers who ingest alcohol during pregnancy. He suggested that testing expectant mothers for alcohol intake prior to delivery would have more merit than testing meconium after birth because an objective identification of alcohol intake during pregnancy could lead to intervention, possible cessation of drinking, and a better outcome for the fetus. We have an obvious need to check mothers during pregnancy before damage to the fetus is done, he said ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of endotracheal suction on the occurrence of meconium aspiration syndrome in depressed meconium stained babies. Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is believed to result from aspiration of meconium and consequent chemical pneumonitis. Meconium can be aspirated into the lungs in the womb as well. Meconium in the distal airways is not accessible to endotracheal (ET) suction which clears only the windpipe. Furthermore there is growing evidence in support of asphyxia-hypoxia-acidosis in the causation of lung disease. Moreover, in the absence of a clear role of ET suction in depressed meconium stained newborns, critical time could be lost in assessment, intubation and ET suction (range: 30 seconds to 1 min) which might delay the definitive step of ventilation for resuscitation of such babies that can potentially affect the outcome adversely.The utility or futility of endotracheal suction in preventing MAS in depressed meconium stained neonates has not ...

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of meconium analysis for fatty acid ethyl esters as a universal screening tool intended for the detection of newborns at risk for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. This will be accomplished by assessing the rate of voluntary participation in a nonanonymous neonatal screening program and by determining the logistics of implementing the necessary follow-up and interventions as part of routine care. Additionally, this study will determine the predictive value of fatty acid ethyl ester-positive meconium with regard to neurodevelopmental delays. This is an ongoing prospective cohort study. Written informed consent is sought from all Grey Bruce women delivering at participating birthing sites. Collected meconium samples are tested for fatty acid ethyl esters by headspace-solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Children with positive results are followed up through an existing public health program

Meconium aspiration syndrome
Meconium aspiration syndrome is a serious condition in which a newborn breathes a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid into the lungs around the time of delivery. This can cause breathing difficulties due to swelling (inflammation) in the babys lungs after birth. Treatment may include suctioning the newborns mouth as soon as the head emerges during delivery, deep suctioning of the windpipe, antibiotics to treat infection, oxygen to keep blood levels normal, and radiant heat to maintain body temperature. In severe cases, the baby may need assistance breathing (ventilator ...

Meconium Aspiration
Meconium aspiration happens when a newborn breathes in a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is the liquid that surrounds the baby in the womb. Meconium is the babys first stool, or poop, which is sticky, thick, and dark green. It is typically passed in the womb during early pregnancy and again in the first few days after birth.

Measurement of Non-Persistent Pesticides in Postpartum Meconium as a Biomarker of Prenatal Exposure: A Validation Study| ...Measurement of Non-Persistent Pesticides in Postpartum Meconium as a Biomarker of Prenatal Exposure: A Validation Study| ...
We anticipate the study to validate a biomarker of cumulative prenatal exposure to organophosphates and other non-persistent pesticide. Specifically, we expect results to show that levels of the non-persistent pesticides in postpartum meconium reflect cumulative exposures during the 8th and 9th months of pregnancy. In the human fetus, this period in gestation coincides with the spurt in brain growth. Our hypothesis is based on a number of lines of evidence indicating that the meconium can serve as a reservoir for xenobiotics and provide information about exposures over the latter part of pregnancy. A biomarker of cumulative exposure would help improve Risk Assessments. Experimental studies have linked prenatal organophosphate exposure to adverse neurocognitive sequelae. Recent evidence suggests that exposures may be more dangerous than previously thought. Acetylcholinesterase, and the related enzyme, butyrylcholinesterase (also a target of organophosphates) appear to play an important role in ...

Gastrografin contains a mixture of sodium and meglumine amidotrizoate. The contrast-giving substances in gastrografin are salts of amidotrizoic acid in which the X-ray absorbing iodine is present in stable chemical bond. Gastrografin is water-soluble and has a high osmolarity. Therefore, it tends to cause a fluid shift into the colon and, subsequently, may increase colonic motility. In the presence of uncomplicated meconium ileus advantage is taken of the high osmotic pressure of gastrografin. The surrounding tissue is forced to release considerable amounts of fluid, which then flows into the gut and dissolves the hardened meconium. Likewise in suspected high impaction or volvulus, a gastrografin enema may be both diagnostic and therapeutic because it stimulates emptying of stool. Gastrografin is of particular value in the evaluation of suspected partial or complete stenosis, acute hemorrhage, and megacolon, and is the contrast of choice in computerized tomography of the abdomen. It is also used ...

constipation-relief-foods: Examine Baby Constipation - Relief For Your Infant, Newborn, Or Toddler far more
Constipation is one of the most common complaints of infants, newborns, and toddlers. It creates a lot of discomfort in them and inconvenience on the part of the parents. It is characterized by the infrequent removal of feces or occurrence of hard stools.. And let me just say that this article is intended for informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, please consult your doctor before you try anything radical!. Constipation Among Newborns and Infants. Newborn babies are expected to have their first stool passage in twenty-four hours from their births. Those who do not have their first bowel movement within that time should be examined by a doctor for checkup purposes because the cause could be the lack or absence of water in their colons. A longer period that would exceed 48 hours could mean a more fatal problem like Hirschsprungs disease, meconium ileus, or hypothyroidism.. Since babies are expected to have a daily bowel removal, parents must ensure that enough ...

Sweat testing in newborns positive to neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis | ADC Fetal & Neonatal EditionSweat testing in newborns positive to neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis | ADC Fetal & Neonatal Edition
We analysed the data from sweat tests performed on all 1003 newborns (557 girls, 446 boys) positive to neonatal screening out of the 335 903 children born in the study region from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 2003.. In this period, 82 cases of CF were diagnosed; seven of them had meconium ileus and IRT above the cut off. There were five false negatives. CF incidence in Tuscany was 1:3860. In 7.1% of the subjects, the quantity of sweat collected was insufficient at the first attempt, and the full sweat test was repeated. No adverse effects, apart from a slight reddening of the skin, were observed. A total of 78 (7.7%; 34 girls, 44 boys) of the 1003 newborns had chloride concentrations above the customary 60 mmol/l cut off and had clinical manifestations of the disease. In two other cases, blood spot genotyping alone allowed CF diagnosis: in one case, the sweat test was negative (genotype 2789+5G→H/R117H), and in the other, the patient died and diagnosis was performed post mortem by DNA ...

Results 12 patients were identified. The mean [SD] age at referral to the CF gastroenterology clinic was 4.9 (4.1) years. Their body mass index was 15.1 (1.8). 25% were homozygous delF508. Two patients had previously had meconium ileus as neonates and both had required surgery for this. One other patient had needed abdominal surgery for intussusception. 92% were pancreatic insufficient, 25% were chronically infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 17% were on regularly three monthly intravenous antibiotics. Of the 10 patients who were able to perform spirometry, mean (SD) FEV1 was 95 (30)% predicted. The biopsies in three patients were normal, but the rest (nine) showed evidence of inflammation including duodenitis with mucosal eosinophilic infiltrate, duodenitis with severe partial villous atrophy, colitis and chronic inactive gastritis. In the nine patients with evidence of GI inflammation on biopsy, immunomodulators were commenced, including sodium cromoglycate, prednisolone, azathioprine, ...

A full-term newborn is delivered via normal spontaneous vaginal delivery to a 38-year-old gravida 5, now para 5005 mother. The mother underwent elective induction of labor for preeclampsia without severe features. The mother received adequate prenatal care, and serologic tests were negative apart from group B Streptococcus colonization, for which she received adequate intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. The labor and delivery course was uneventful, and Apgar scores were 9 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively, with suction, drying, and stimulation. Birthweight was 3,270 g (appropriate for gestational age); length, 52 cm; and head circumference, 33 cm. For the first 24 hours after delivery, the infant took the bottle well, with minimal regurgitation. The abdomen was soft and nondistended. Now, on postnatal day 2, her intake by mouth is decreased, her abdomen has become firm and distended, and she is having more large-volume emesis that is nonbloody and nonbilious. She has also failed to pass ...

Abstract Enterolithiasis is an uncommon finding of a dilated hyperechogenic bowel with multiple ball-like echogenic structures at a routine prenatal check-up using ultrasonography. We here report a case of prenatally diagnosed enterolithiasis at 18 weeks of gestation, showing multiple hyperechogenic foci rolling within the bowel fluid after peristalsis. The size of the dilated bowel ...

Bilirubin, Amniotic Fluid - Mayo Medical Laboratories | Pediatric Catalog
The presence of bilirubin in amniotic fluid, which results in a yellow color, is an indicator of fetal erythroblastosis. Visual inspection of amniotic fluid is unreliable because bilirubin is not the only cause of an excessive yellow color; therefore, the presence of bilirubin must be confirmed with spectrophotometric methods. Meconium may contribute a green color (biliverdin) that can obscure the color of bilirubin and hemoglobin.. ...

PCPMX - Overview: Phencyclidine (PCP) Confirmation, Chain of Custody, MeconiumPCPMX - Overview: Phencyclidine (PCP) Confirmation, Chain of Custody, Meconium
PCPMX : Detection of in utero drug exposure up to 5 months before birth   Chain of custody is required whenever the results of testing could be used in a court of law. Its purpose is to protect the rights of the individual contributing the specimen by demonstrating that it was under the control of personnel involved with testing the specimen at all times; this control implies that the opportunity for specimen tampering would be limited. Since the evidence of illicit drug use during pregnancy can be cause for separating the baby from the mother, a complete chain of custody ensures that the test results are appropriate for legal proceedings.

Gastrointestinal Problems | University HospitalsGastrointestinal Problems | University Hospitals
The first bowel movement of a newborn is called meconium. This is a sticky, greenish-black substance that forms in the intestines during fetal development. The baby may have several meconium bowel movements before this substance is completely gone from the babys system. After the first few days, normal bowel movements become yellow and formed in formula-fed babies. They may happen once or twice a day, sometimes more often. Breastfed babies tend to have soft, seedy, yellow-green bowel movements several times a day. They may be as often as every few hours with feedings. Babies with diarrhea have watery, very loose bowel movements that happen very often. A baby may or may not have signs of cramping with the diarrhea. Watery bowel movements and diarrhea in a newborn can quickly lead to severe dehydration. It should be treated right away. Talk with your babys healthcare provider if there is a change in your babys bowel movements or your baby develops diarrhea. If there is blood in the stool, call ...

Once again a study finds that pesticide exposure is linked to an adverse health effect - that pesticide exposure in the home during pregnancy and early childhood is linked to an elevated risk of brain tumor in the child. Other studies have also found that pesticides used in the home are associated with a higher risk of childhood cancers.. This is because pesticides do cross the placental barrier, as the study researchers point out: There is evidence that pesticides cross the fetal-placental barrier since residues of some insecticides have been found in umbilical cord blood, neonatal hair, and meconium following maternal exposure during pregnancy. Also, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified more than twenty pesticide chemical compounds as potential human carcinogens.. The following are examples (but there are more) of other studies finding pesticide and childhood cancer links: A meta-analysis published in 2015 in Pediatrics by researchers at Harvard University ...

Within the pediatric population, the exposure of Δ9-THC may also restrict neurodevelopment. Prenatal cannabis use is linked to aberrant behaviors in newborns, impaired inhibitory control, delinquency, and increased risk of drug abuse later in life [4, 12-13]. Fetal exposure increases the level of the maternal cytokine (IL-8) that is related to significant decreases in left entorhinal cortex volumes (similar to individuals with schizophrenia) [10]. Additionally, cannabis-exposed children are found to have thicker frontal cortices, a thicker superior frontal area of the left hemisphere, and a wider frontal lobe in the right hemisphere [11]. A possible interpretation for the thicker prefrontal cortex is altered neurodevelopmental maturation [11]. The emotional immaturity and underdeveloped cortices of adolescent make them particularly susceptible to deceptive marketing targets (i.e., marijuana posing little risk) [4, 6]. Conversely, in a cross-sectional study, few providers considered themselves ...

28 Weeks & No -Ish - amalah . com
Since my doctor and I have finally agreed on a concrete due date, or at least a decent compromise on one (four days later than my math suggests, four days before some of the more runty early ultrasounds), I figure its time to stop with the fuzzy update titles and just commit to a week already. So. 28 weeks. Solidly in the third trimester. Eleven weeks or so away from delivery via hacksaw. I wont lie. Im a tad defensive about the scheduled c-section. (Its hard not to be, out here on the Internet.) When people inquired about my due date at Blogher I was unable to give the simple answer: October 18th, but I will probably deliver sometime around the 10th. Instead I found myself rushing to provide all sorts of details that no one really asked for: Noah was 10 pounds! Occiput posterior! Meconium! Cord around the neck! A really narrow, weirdly turned-in pelvis that prevented him from ever getting anywhere near the exit! Fetal distress! Doooooooom! (And thats usually when people would back away from me,

JMIR Research Protocols - Pediatric Respiratory and Enteric Virus Acquisition and Immunogenesis in US Mothers and Children Aged...
Background: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and acute respiratory infections (ARIs) cause significant pediatric morbidity and mortality. Developing childhood vaccines against major enteric and respiratory pathogens should be guided by the natural history of infection and acquired immunity. The United States currently lacks contemporary birth cohort data to guide vaccine development. Objective: The PREVAIL (Pediatric Respiratory and Enteric Virus Acquisition and Immunogenesis Longitudinal) Cohort study was undertaken to define the natural history of infection and immune response to major pathogens causing AGE and ARI in US children. Methods: Mothers in Cincinnati, Ohio, were enrolled in their third trimester of pregnancy, with intensive child follow-up to 2 years. Blood samples were obtained from children at birth (cord), 6 weeks, and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Whole stool specimens and midturbinate nasal swabs were collected weekly and tested by multipathogen molecular assays. Saliva, meconium, maternal

Good Afternoon-. My name is Erin Moore and this is my husband Martin. We have 3 children - Ella (2), and 8mo. Old twins Lily & Drew. Drew has Cystic Fibrosis.. Drew & Lily were born on March 14th of this year. The first day of their life was perfect. At about 36 hours old, a distended belly & an x-ray showed that Drew had a blockage in his bowel which we would later learn was something called Meconium Illeus, a red flag for diagnosing Cystic Fibrosis. It is terrifying and heartbreaking to have your 2 day old baby taken away from you, not understanding what is going on or why this is happening to you. When Drew was 4 days old he had his first surgery. At 7 days, he had his second.

A short while later she pushed her first 2.8kilo baby boy into my hands. I quickly clamped and cut his cord, and we auscultated twin B who was sounding very happy. MW asked me to feel for a presenting part - I reached up and felt what felt like tiny toes inside the second bag of waters. Several minutes tick past as we waited for her contractions to pick up again, and for that presenting part (no one was overly convinced we had either a breech or a vertex presenting). To my inexperienced hands, it seemed like it could have been a head, or perhaps a compound presentation (a hand?) to engage in the pelvis. A couple of contractions later, as baby sank further down into the pelvis, the bag was broken, and in a rush of fluid and fresh meconium, a footling breech babe slid out. Another boy, about 700gms ...
